Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026

[Umulala-alala]

This is a big match it will be the most watch match in match day 23 in the English premier league, Arsenal has been performing well but suddenly stop winning matches lately, Man united who has not been performing well won Man city after having Carrick as their new coach. Man united will be playing differently tomorrow nobody knows what the outcome of the match will be but i don't think Arsenal will win Man united again, definitely there will be people who are confident that Man united will win Arsenal after their surprised winning to Man city.

The Arsenal and Manchester United match is the main event for Premier League match day 23, so I totally agree with you that the Arsenal vs Manchester United match will be the most interesting match to watch. Arsenal is the most consistent team in the Premier League right now, and they have won a lot of matches this season, and since they are playing on their home soil, they have a good advantage of winning Manchester United, but I am not ruling out the chances of Manchester United defeating Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, because football is unpredictable and Manchester United always pulls off a surprising display against big teams.

You are right Arsenal is the most consistent club in the English premier league now and they also posses more form than Man united and they are favorite to win because everything falls on their home soil, Man united is unpredictable football also is unpredictable majority of people believe that Man city will win Man united in their last derby match but Man united came with a surprise parkage and won the match 2-0, am not saying that Man united can't loss but Arsenal can also loss despite they will playing Man united at the Emirate stadium.

I don't know why Manchester United management was in a rush to sack Amorim because they weren't performing that bad. However, Carrick has something to offer to the club, let's watch the package he has for us against Arsenal match. If he wins that game, he's indeed a promising coach. However, I expect a draw and BTTS.

I think it was an urgent thing but there was no way for them to express themselves at their best if they had not changed the coach, after this it certainly changed and i must say that now they have improved a lot, i don't know if it is only thanks to the coach but so it is

@5.8 for those of you who are confident in Manchester winning this match, making $10 into $58 or $100 into $580. Anyone dare to bet on Manchester United to win?

It's exactly 6 odds on Bitz. I think I have a couple of dollars to waste. I would risk it on Man United. I don't think they will win, but I would take the risk. A lot of people would be expecting something verygood from Man United after how they played against Manchester City, but I doubt it. Manchester City are not in the form that Arsenal are, and they are paying away from home, so I don't expect them to win, but I'm still going to just bet on them just in case because the odds are nice.
I won't be surprised to see Man United have a lot of the all too because Arsenal are kind of pragmatic, but they wont be able to do much with it.

I think Ruben Amorim somehow had a fall out with the management and that’s what resulted in his sack wasn’t all just about the footballing on the pitch.
Let’s also not get ahead of ourselves,  it’s only one game before we start praising Michael Carrick and his Man United until we’ve seen enough perhaps M. Carrick has something to offer but let’s wait and see how far and how wel he does.

[dollyamo]

This game is going to be an interesting encounter between them, but I don't see a clear favourite here because Manchester United is that team that knows how to beat arsenal on a good day, but due to arsenal being in a better form than Manchester United, they may have the upper hand on paper, but it's a game they might drop point or even lose if they underestimated this Manchester United team, so the uncertainty that this game carries is what I love about it. So I will be looking forward to it on Sunday, hoping for enough goals, since am not a fan of any of them, but gambling on this game will be a risky one since it's a game that can go either way.

I don't know, you know, in my opinion he's too strong at the moment. i don't think Manchester United, with all their limitations, can do anything about it.
And then there is a 15 point gap between the two, not by chance i dare say, sorry if i am so pessimistic for Manchester United

Arsenal isn't consistent, look at their clean sheet, it's not too nice. Check their previous matches in the last 5 games, it's doesn't speak anything related to consistency. It's just that they are better version of their self from the past performance of 4 season and you can see that other teams are struggling to meet up to finish at the top of the league. The two finishers of their previous leagues are both lacking, Manchester City and Liverpool don't look energetic to win the season, so Arsenal is the only option left to win the League.

I want to invest in Manchester United with Arsenal, take Manchester United as favourite but I don't want to look at the odd everyone is looking. How can I bet on a team that has DDDLW with a DWWDW and then expect Manchester United to win Arsenal at home. It's possible though but I wouldn't risk it for whatever off casino are offering, I will go with Arsenal with straight win or either go with over 1.5 just to be at safe side of the game.

Ruben Amorim did not do his management well enough but Manchester United again were not solid with their strategy for their club development. They fluctuate between short term results and long term success and if they won't change this important mindset, next seasons will continue as very chaotic for them with high risk of failures.

You are right Arsenal is the most consistent club in the English premier league now and they also posses more form than Man united and they are favorite to win because everything falls on their home soil, Man united is unpredictable football also is unpredictable majority of people believe that Man city will win Man united in their last derby match but Man united came with a surprise parkage and won the match 2-0, am not saying that Man united can't loss but Arsenal can also loss despite they will playing Man united at the Emirate stadium.

Arsenal have worked very hard in latest seasons and even they failed to win Premier League title in three latest seasons, they already got big lessons which are helpful for their success in this season so far. I think Arsenal will be able to do better and finish this season as a league champion, as this season is likely reserved for them. Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea have many problems and fell behind Arsenal with big differences in points, and they give Arsenal a very good opportunity to lift a league trophy. Aston Villa won't be able to challenge Arsenal for a title, and they will even have to try a lot to defend their position in top four as with many months ahead, there is risk of falling out of top four with enough challenge from Chelsea and Manchester United.

[Nheer]

I get your point totally, everyone believes Arsenal is unstoppable this season but I also don't agree although they are the most in form currently in Europe and in the premier league so with this form it's difficult to say they won't win anything. We have to wait till they win it before celebrating but I think they have high chances of winning it because there is no serious contender. But I can't say the same thing for the champions league, that competition is so difficult especially when it gets to knock out stages so I can't say they are winning it.

Consistency in league games means the act of finding a way to win your game, regardless of the playing style, weather conditions, officiating, and home or away influence. If the worst happens, let it end in a draw game. Arsenal has only lost 2 games in all competitions. They are likely the only consistent team we see in all of Europe. Any football fan who still discriminate their effort is only a sentimental fan. If it were Pep Guardiola on this form, we both know what the world will think of him. In the end, results matter.

I never said they are not consistent, of course they are the most consistent in Europe currently and whatever style they adopt if it will work for them then they can continue with it. Most people get thrilled when Guardiola is in similar  form because of the style he adopts, when Guardiola is in form you enjoy the beauty of the game because of how it's played, Arsenal is in form but it's almost not visible. When PSG was in form last season we all admire how they play but it's not the same for Arsenal because everyone get bored of watching set piece goals over and over again, we get bored of seeing Defenders score in almost every game.

So you cannot blame people that don't appreciate Arsenal's form because everyone wants to be entertained. Well for me I appreciate what they've done this season and if they end up winning the league then I think they are more deserving this season but that doesn't take away the fact that I also love entertaining football more.

Matchday #23 kicks off tomorrow, with the opening match being WHU - Sunderland. However, that's not the most exciting match of matchday #23, the only interesting match for me is Arsenal - Manchester United. The reason is because both teams are strong teams in the PL, I'm curious to see how Manchester United will fare against another strong team after they beat Manchester City last week.

@5.8 for those of you who are confident in Manchester winning this match, making $10 into $58 or $100 into $580. Anyone dare to bet on Manchester United to win?

Even the bookies are seeing it that on paper currently, Arsenal as got all the superiority and all the supposed advantage mostly in that they are playing from home, I agree because by all indications and information available to us, Manchester United is perceived weak to arsenal but a few goals are what I see in this game, not more than three.

It's pretty risky to bet on MU for the upcoming game at emirates. An away game for MU is always difficult, but i believe carrick can handle team to perform well with his direct football tactic. So we can expect the same situation against City when opponent dominate possession, but difficult to score due to the MU's solid low block.
I'd rather bet draw instead of doing a direct bet on MU. I know the odds is literally big, and very tempting if it can settle, but chance is likely lower than 20%. I don't dumb enough to risk money for them.    

[Sexylizzy2813]

Let's start with Sunderland, these guys are the best team among the other two that came with them to the EPL and for me I see them as the Como in the EPL although Como style of play is completely different but what can I say about the Sunderland side who have given almost all the top side in the EPL a hard time, so this early kick off could be a draw game since Sunderland are playing away from home.

Draw would be an undeserved result, mate. Both teams have clear objectives why they must win this match, on the one side WHU who's playing at home is now in the relegation zone, if they want to get out of that zone quickly, they must get full points in this match. On the other side, Sunderland, who have performed well this season, are favored to win with everything they have in the team.

Honestly Sunderland are the clear favorite to win this game even if the bookie favors the host, like you said Sunderland are in good form and they have all it takes to get all 3pt but I believe them to do that at home, last time they beat West Ham 3-1 (correct me if I'm wrong) and I don't expect much in this encounter, West Ham should step up their game to get all 3pt because they need to leave the relegation zone, there's no much time any more so the time is now.  For Sunderland I wasn't expecting them to be as good as what we are seeing and for someone to say they'll be they'll be in the first chapter of the league table I'll doubt because they are just coming from the championship. In this very game I want West Ham to do a reverse of what they received in the first encounter if not that draw as the early kick will definitely happen.

I don't see the number of goals being as high as you are expecting. I think it could be 2 goals. This is a sure sign that Arsenal will win the match against Manchester United. There will be some differences among the number of bettors who always try to fix the match for a different result. We have seen some allegations of match fixing in the past. Although the lack of evidence shows when the issues are analyzed and there is not enough evidence to investigate

While it seems easy to predict the outcome of the match in advance, there is no way to underestimate Manchester United against Arsenal. If Arsenal underestimate the strength of their opponent they will definitely lose points.

[changaa]

Not only is Arsenal just heading to the title, this time, they are even looking unstoppable, they are putting in the needed work to get the trophy this season than with other seasons, I am looking at the chances of them further expanding  the gap by making it upto 10 points, if they are able to achieve that, I will just assume they have got the title already because at that point, they will.need not wait till the actual last game of the season to be surely  they got the trophy as the remaining games at a time can not gwt any team 10 points extra even if they win the remaining if their game, so Arsenal will become to sure they are winning.

Arsenal are really surprising me in a positive way, they are really great players and they have a composure to make sure that they are adapting a lot to the role, these guys are really strong and it was the result of an evolutionary process that is the result of years of work in their Congratulations to them

It depends on the financial situation we have in terms of betting, but judging from MU's movements in away matches, it is indeed quite difficult for them. Sometimes the pressure from opposing supporters can bring down MU's own mentality, but this is only an estimate, but clearly positive thinking is the most important thing to support MU when competing at the Emirates, whatever the result.

They've been striving for the championship for so long that manager Arteta has come close several times, even finishing second in some seasons. This year, they're in a more ambitious position than they have in recent years to achieve their goal. Arsenal are one of the two strongest contenders for the championship in both the Champions League and the Premier League.

Amorim consistent ranting in the Media was one of the Challenges that he had with Manchester United Board, and coupled with the bad results was actually a challenge for him, and he had so many things to say in the media consistently ranting about the management getting him new players, but I must say that the board was very patience with him, the board was ready to give him time with the team to get result, but he was constantly saying things in the media sometimes I was wondering if he wants to get himself sacked, I believe Amorim was tired of the Manchester United job which is why he said things in the media to get himself sacked from the Manchester United Job.

I don't think so. The Portuguese manager might have thought that speaking to the media could lead to a change in management. But of course, there's a sharp edge to it. That's why the management sacked him. In my opinion, the Portuguese manager was trying to assert his authority over the management. But if you're managing a team like that in the Premier League and you're having unsuccessful results, such a comment can lead to your dismissal. That's exactly what happened in the Amorim case.

Although there have been some inside clashes and situations which clearly made Amorim unhappy, but I believe the climax was reached during his controversial press conference after the draw against Leeds which he mentioned that he is the manager of united rather than the head coach. The board made a decision to part ways with him right after that press conference.

Yep I agree, one game isn't a valid conclusion point, and more importantly they played against a struggling Manchester city which went on to loose terribly in Norway this week. We need consistent results before we can ascertain the effectiveness of Carrick. Although I must mention that the players performed with a confidence I have not seen in the team in a long time.

[Pandu Geddon]

Arsenal are one of the two strongest contenders for the championship in both the Champions League and the Premier League.

Arsenal is indeed favored for the Premier League given the current situation in the standings. I think almost all teams that currently have a chance to advance to the next round can still be contenders, the situation in the Champions League can change. We really have to acknowledge Arsenal's more consistent performance this season. But in the Champions League, anything can happen beyond our predictions. Many strong teams are also competing.

[sokani]

It's exactly 6 odds on Bitz. I think I have a couple of dollars to waste. I would risk it on Man United. I don't think they will win, but I would take the risk. A lot of people would be expecting something verygood from Man United after how they played against Manchester City, but I doubt it. Manchester City are not in the form that Arsenal are, and they are paying away from home, so I don't expect them to win, but I'm still going to just bet on them just in case because the odds are nice.
I won't be surprised to see Man United have a lot of the all too because Arsenal are kind of pragmatic, but they wont be able to do much with it.

In case you develop cold feet about giving United a straight win. Betting on United as a handicap seems like a good bet too. I didn't check the odds for a +1 goal handicap, but I'm guessing it should be around 3 odds, which still look good. If United wins or the match ends in a stalemate, you will win the bet.
